This episode was the first to hint at Sam’s many dating issues. We meet Jonas, Sam’s sunburnt ex-fiancé, after he has enslaved a race of cave dwellers and declared himself a god. He is in the process of tyrannically working his followers to death in an effort to construct a temple. To be fair to Sam, I doubt any of this was in his Match.com profile when their relationship began.
While Sam and Jonas were getting reacquainted, Jack got caught in the middle of a rather pathetic rescue attempt. Daniel and Teal’c used their time more productively and solved the mystery of the orange sky. They used this information to expose Jonas as a false god and prevent Jack’s execution. The cave dwellers weren’t particularly impressed with the whole working-them-to-death routine, so they threw Jonas into a wormhole to be splattered against the stargate’s iris.
I liked the unintentionally funny warriors in this episode. They looked like a bizarre cross between Mr. Potato Head and Dark Helmet. Not very intimidating.
This episode also gets bonus points for a few Wizard of Oz references.
My Rating: 6/10
